The Federation’s computers on Star Trek probably run a ZFS descendant.¹
¹ Cardassians run ReiserFS. #openzfsmastery #rejectedFootnote
openzfsmastery
I label disks in my ZFS pools by serial number, eg:
$ zpool status vm
pool: vm
state: ONLINE
config:
NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM
vm ONLINE 0 0 0
gpt/WD-WCC4N0JSJDKF ONLINE 0 0 0
gpt/WD-WMC4N0M8NRXM ONLINE 0 0 0
But that's unreadable in a book.
Our earlier ZFS books used labels like zfs0, zfs1, etc.
Tempted to use slot0, slot1, etc to be more realistic. But then someone will use that as an actual labeling scheme and complain to us when it bites them. #openzfsmastery
Me: I'm gonna write #openzfsmastery in order. No bouncing around in the manuscript, just clean text from beginning to end!
Also me: My test host needs the new compatibility flag for the root pool. I guess I better jump ahead four chapters and write that.
